Yet I read gay websites, compliment fellow posters, try to understand the gay community, give it advice about how to win over people from the other side and for this I&#39;m an &quot;anti-gay bigot&quot;</p>

Should read: &quot;I made a mistake for which I&#39;ve apologized and reached out to the LGBT community.&quot; Second reason for firing his publicist - appearing on a talk-show of an admitted sexual predator (sorry, when you&#39;re the boss, sex with your employees is ALWAYS harassment). It makes me sick to think CBS let him back on the air - greed trumps morals, as usual.</p>Stuffed Animal commented on 'Tracy Morgan Doesn't Remember What He Said That Offended Gays, Wishes People Just Got the Comedy: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0153923a3490970b2011-10-11T16:35:20Z2011-10-11T16:35:20ZStuffed Animalhttp://ignoranceisplentiful.blogspot.com/OK, all you Gay Tracy Morgan apologists . . . what kind of handkerchief head excuse for him are you...<p>OK, all you Gay Tracy Morgan apologists . . . what kind of handkerchief head excuse for him are you gonna come up with now?</p>TampaZeke commented on 'Tracy Morgan Doesn't Remember What He Said That Offended Gays, Wishes People Just Got the Comedy: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0154360dd5da970c2011-10-11T16:32:17Z2011-10-11T16:32:17ZTampaZekeMATT, my comparison shows how selective people are with their outrage and how they label people as "bigot" or "not...<p>MATT, my comparison shows how selective people are with their outrage and how they label people as &quot;bigot&quot; or &quot;not bigot&quot; or words as &quot;freedom of speech&quot; or &quot;treason&quot;.

<p>Little Kiwi, your example is valid but it doesn&#39;t reflect on Morgan. I can&#39;t imagine how you can say that a person who said he would kill his own child if he came out gay isn&#39;t a homophobe. That&#39;s just bizzare.</p>Zell commented on 'Tracy Morgan Doesn't Remember What He Said That Offended Gays, Wishes People Just Got the Comedy: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef014e8c2e573a970d2011-10-11T16:30:15Z2011-10-11T16:30:15ZZellI love how apparently someone doing or saying something homophobic is a GOOD thing, in this case, because it got...<p>I love how apparently someone doing or saying something homophobic is a GOOD thing, in this case, because it got people talking about homophobia. Does this mean that every act of bigotry that is condemned by the majority is a good thing? Matthew Shepard&#39;s death led to the country talking about hate crimes legislation, does that make it a good thing? The holocaust led to people finally realizing that the Jews had things pretty tough, does that make it a good thing? </p>
<p>Clearly, Morgan isn&#39;t in the same league as either of those cases, but be careful when trying to spin something as being beneficial &quot;in the grand scheme of things.&quot; And yes, Tracy Morgan did a lot to try to make up for it, but to hear the comments made on Letterman, it really doesn&#39;t seem as though he&#39;s actually sorry.</p>Little Kiwi commented on 'Tracy Morgan Doesn't Remember What He Said That Offended Gays, Wishes People Just Got the Comedy: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0153923a2843970b2011-10-11T16:23:08Z2011-10-11T16:23:08ZLittle Kiwihttp://littlekiwilovesbauhaus.blogspot.comwanna see an awful example of a comedian who made anti-gay jokes in best-selling video and got away without a...<p>wanna see an awful example of a comedian who made anti-gay jokes in best-selling video and got away without a HINT of controversy?</p>

<p>It&#39;s a bit like the way Hank Williams Jr. cried &quot;FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS&quot; when he called out for comparing Obama to Hitler but seems to have forgotten that he was the first in line trying to destroy the Dixie Chicks when they said that GW Bush made them ashamed to be American.</p>

<p>seriously. the man made a big mistake, and as much as some of you may want to say his seminars and workshops and talks with LGBT youth in the aftermath was &quot;lip-service&quot; the fact is he still did it.</p>
<p>his comments received national attention. it got people talking about how unfunny homophobia is, and how unacceptable it is.</p>
<p>in the grand scheme of things, this ended up being a GOOD thing as it contributed to a larger national dialogue about the realities of anti-gay sentiment in society.</p>
<p>morgan is not homophobic. he was, rather obviously, homo-IGNORANT. i think it&#39;s time we got off his back and started focusing on the real enemy - namely the clean white faces of politics who continue to harness the bigoted power of anti-gay prejudice as their way of earning votes and money.</p>
